Franklin E. Kock, Dance Aruba Foundation Chairman has been dancing for over 48 years and has performed all over the world including the famous Superbowl half time show in Miami Florida, also in NY City, Europe, Caribbean and Latin America.
BTW dancing salsa is not
only knowing the steps!
Anybody can teach you
THAT! It is feeling the music
and hitting the breaks as
soon as you see them
coming. The true Salsero(a)
will see the breaks coming a
mile away, even when
he/she does not know the
song by heart.
Many a dance school claim
to be the biggest and the
best on the island but they
show off their product using
students from another dance
school. Doing as the saying
goes: Sleeping in a bed
someone else has made up.
But the truth will eventually
show its face and the
marketing overkill will fail.
The real professional
schools do not have to say
they are the best all of the
time, people will know they
are from the product they
have delivered over time.
Therefore seeing the
performance of
the Pachanga students
your best bet on where to
learn how to dance Salsa
in Aruba would be at
Scol di Baile Pachanga.
Known for excellence in
teaching and guiding
their students. But its up
to everyone to try the
rest. You will eventually
still come back to the
BEST!
Happy Holiday’s

Close Up: Artist of the MonthClose Up: Artist of the Month
Since their arrival in 2000,
Spanish Harlem Orchestra
(SHO) has established itself as
a standard bearer of
contemporary Latin music.
Directed by world‐‐‐‐renowned
pianist, arranger, and producer
Oscar Hernández, the thirteen
member allstar ensemble has
reintroduced the classic
sounds of New York City Salsa
to music lovers worldwide.
United We Swing, SHO’s third
album, is a stunning follow‐up
to their 2004 Grammy ward
‐winning album Across 110th
St., and their 2002 Grammy
nominated debut, Un Gran Día
En El Barrio. On United We
Swing, Spanish Harlem
Orchestra continues in the
same Classic ‐meets
‐contemporary sound, but with
refreshing originality. Nine of the
songs are original
compositions grounded in the
unique identity the band has
forged based on the musical
legacy of El Barrio, a pulsating
Eastside community in NYC
located to the south of 125th St
that gave rise to Boogaloo, Latin
Soul, and Salsa. “Our music style
is the original
sound of New York old school
"Salsa dura" (heavy salsa) that
was played in the early years by
our pioneers,” says Oscar.
“That sound has been lost and
we want to keep it alive while
educating the new generations
(and music lovers in general)
on the true musical roots of our
culture.” Oscar adds, “we’ve
brought back the essence of
what makes this music great
and are keeping the salsa spirit
alive in our recordings and
shows.” From the opening
horns of “SHO Intro,” you know
you’re in for an aural party. The
song is upbeat and features
Oscar introducing the members
of the band and opening the
show. “Llegó La Orquesta” (The
Orchestra Has Arrived) was
cowritten by Oscar and Gil
Lopez. It sets up a ballroom
scene that will have listeners
jumping out from their seats to
dance. “I have a lot of
colleagues who helped me on
this album and who I feel have
their finger on the pulse of what
this music should be. The
arrangers include Sonny Bravo,
Gil Lopez, Angel Fernandez,
Jose Febles and myself,” says
Oscar. SHO pays tribute to the
legacy of Manhattans Palladium
Ballroom, “the home of the
mambo,” with “En El Tiempo
Del Palladium” (In The Times of
The Palladium), that catered to
Mambo dancers and featured
the bands of the BIG‐3: Tito
Puente, Tito Rodriguez and
Machito. Tipica 73 icon, Sonny
Bravo, arranged the Willie
Tórres tune, “Se Forma La
Rumba” (The Rumba Has
Begun). Oscar advises
“Sácala Bailar” (Take Her
Dancing) and leads into the
classic 1970s Fania‐era hit,
“Ahora Sí” (Now’s The Time).
The rest of the album will
satisfy Salsa lovers with “Que
Bonito” (How Lovely) and
“Salsa Pa’l Bailador” (Salsa For
Dancers). The Joe Cuba
cha‐cha‐cha, “Mujer Divina”
(Divine Lady), is done in
doo‐wop three‐part vocal
harmony. “Soy Candela” (I Am
Fire) keeps the pace burning
and segues into a smoking
“Plena Con Sabor” (Tasty
Plena). “Danzón For My Father”
is a piece originally recorded by
Dave Valentin that Oscar
composed as a tribute to his
dad, Emilio Hernández.
Saving a surprise for the finale is
always a great way to end a
party and Oscar Hernández and
SHO certainly do that with
special guest Paul Simon. “Late
In The Evening/ Tarde En La
Noche” is a reconfiguration of a
Simon Top Ten hit from his 1980
One‐Trick Pony album.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
Hernández, who collaborated
with Simon on his Broadway
musical,
“Cape Man,” arranged the piece
with Simon singing the classic
refrains. “I was talking to Paul
and asked him if he would want
to be a guest on our album. No
sooner had the words come out
of my mouth and he said, ‘I’d
love to. What are you thinking
about?’ I was floored and
completely honored. Paul
Simon doesn’t just record with
anybody.” “The first verse that
he sings accapella is
distinctively different. He told
me to leave it like that because
he didn’t want it to sound like
the original. It’s more like a
dream years later. The
combination is really cool. I was
going to do it with the original
horn lines but in this case I took
it to the realm of what we are all
about.” From their 2002 debut
album,
Un Gran Día En El Barrio, SHO
revived the classic 1970 NYC
sounds with a new hard hitting
oint‐of‐view. Fueled by great
singers Frankie Vasquez,
Herman Olivera, Ray De La
Paz and special guest Jimmy
Sabater, the songs were hot
and included back ‐in
‐the‐day hits like Tito
Rodriguez’s “Mama Guela,”
Willie Colon’s “La Banda,” and
others. It launched the band and
garnered them a 2003 Grammy
nomination for “Best Salsa
Album” and a Latin Billboard
Award for Salsa Album of the
Year‐Best New Group. On their
2004 follow‐up, Across 110th
St., the Spanish Harlem
Orchestra was augmented by the
roaring trombones of Jimmy
Bosch and Dan Reagan, singers
Marco Bermudez, Willie Torres,
Ray De La Paz and special guest
Ruben Blades, who Hernández
worked for in the 1990s as his
musical director. It was slamming
and garnered the group its first
Grammy Award in 2005 for “Best
Salsa Album.” Today, United We
Swing, places Spanish Harlem
Orchestra among Latin music’s
greatest bands by paying due to
a neighborhood romanticized in
Leonard Bernstein’s “Westside
Story” and Ben E. King’s, “A
Rose in Spanish Harlem.”
El Barrio is a hard urban
incubator as described in Piri
Thomas’ book, “Down These
Mean Streets,” that in the midst
of social despair has given the
world unique Caribbean musical
mixtures. “I’m from the Bronx,”
concludes Oscar, “but if you’re a
Latino in NYC you always have a
connection to Spanish Harlem.
It’s a place where a lot of stuff
has happened that for me is kind
of a microcosm for Latin New
York. As a community it is an
important part of the fabric that
makes up the city, and we’re
compelled to share the power of
the music and culture with
the world.” The Scol di baile
Pachanga Crew has met
and befriend the SHO and
found out that these
musicians can also DANCE
Salsa so they are excellent
candidates to be our Artist
of the month.

start this our 10th Anniversary Celebration Year with a Salsa BANG !
Focus on a Pachanguero]|ÅÅç gÜÉÅÑ]|ÅÅç gÜÉÅÑ]|ÅÅç gÜÉÅÑ]|ÅÅç gÜÉÅÑ
This month in our Focus on
a Pachanguero section we
will feature Jimmy Tromp.Personal facts of Jimmy are:
Name: Jimmy G. R. Tromp, born in
Aruba on the 8th of May, 1969.
Jimmy tells us that his passion for
dancing began as a little boy; it’s a
local tradition that during family parties
or gatherings, dancing would not be left
out. Like many other traditions dancing
(especially our local dances) is taught
from generation to generation by older
brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles or
many times the parents themselves.
Jimmy says that his first dance
experience with a performing type of
dancing came about at an early age
when he started dancing Hip Hop with a
performing Hip Hop dance group.
Soon after that I joined a Carnival Show
group that goes by the name: The Coco
Rico Dancers. I performed with this
dance group doing Carnival Shows in
many hotels on the island. The Coco
Rico Dancers still exists and have
recently completed an important
milestone in their career. experience
and did quite well, well enough to be
scouted by the Pachanga Management
and requested to join the “Los
Pachangueros” professional dance
Team.
I was also dancing in a folkloric dance
group belonging to Lia Lopez during
that period, but salsa soon took over
completely. It has since been 7 years
from my first Salsa steps with Scol di
Baile Pachanga and have acquired
allot of experience during this time.
This experience has made my dancing
enjoyable and fun, you meet many
people of different backgrounds and
characters. I have also had the
privilege to perform on stage with
many Local and International Artists
the likes of: Oscar de Leon, Son de
Cali, Robert Jean d ‘Or, Gilberto Santa
Rosa, Gran Combo de Puerto Rico,
Tsunami Claudius Phillips, Tito Nieves
and many more. Dancing with
Pachanga I also acquired enough
expe-rience to participate in many
Local and International Salsa dance
competitions as listed below:
* In Aruba with Cathy Maduro,
Analia Rasmijn.
* In Puerto Rico with Eraina
Abdul, we also competed in a
Bachata Dance Competition and
I must say that I also enjoy
Bachata dancing allot as well as
dancing the Merengue.
* And in 2005 I competed in the
IDO World Championship Salsa
held right here in Aruba, I then
danced with our own Miss Aruba
finalist Ivana Werleman.
My Passion for dance is BIG! I
love to dance and I can see that
this gene is also found in my 3
children who love to dance too. I
believe that dancing is healthy so
whenever you want to start
dancing you have to get in touch
with one of the dance schools in
Aruba or wherever you may live.
However if your passion is Salsa
V then in Aruba Scol di Baile
Pachanga is THE Latin (Salsa,
Merengue, Bachata, Zouk etc.)
dance school that will not only
teach you the steps (anybody
can do that) but they will teach
you how to DANCE with Swing y
Sabor and very importantly
dancing on the Music. And after
you do this I’m sure we will meet
on the dance floor because for
dancing there are no distinctions
in race, age or belief, dancing is
for everyone.
Pachangueros Edwin, Jimmy &

Scol di Baile Pachanga congratulates Ivana Werleman
In 2009 the Scol di baile Pach-
-anga Dance Team Fe-male
dancers AKA Las Pachangueras
scored exceptionally well during
the different beauty pageants
held in Aruba throughout the
year. That Pachanga delivers the
best female salsa dancers on the
island is no secret but that they
are also knockouts in the beauty
area has been shown too with all
the pageant titles they conquered
this year. First it was our miss
Pachanguera Shewska
Verberne, who was crowned as
the First Runner Up in the Best
Child Model of The World
Pageant held in Bulgaria.
During the Miss Teen Aruba
Pageant the Pachangueras almost
took home all the crowns. Starting
with our miss Pachanguera
Christine Vinck who was crowned
Miss Teen Aruba 2009, then follows
the miss Pachanguera Jeanique de
Palm who was crowned Second
Run-ner Up and also miss Pachan-
-guera Davina Kock who took the
prize for the Most Beautiful Hair in
this pageant. Last but surely not
least miss Pachanguera Ivana
Werleman was crowned finalist in
the Miss Universa Aruba 2009,
Ivana will represent our beautiful
island in either the up coming Miss
World or the Miss International
Pageant. So this is a well
deserved congratulation to all our
queens and especially to our
most recent queen Ivana
Werleman. You dance awesome
you’re a great person and now a
true Queen V YOU are a
Pachanguera at heart and like
we say here in Aruba Masha

Lets Dance our way to a Healthy LifeDancing can be magical and transforming. It can
breathe new life into a tired soul; make a spirit soar;
unleash locked‐‐‐‐away creativity; unite gene-rations
and cultures; inspire new romances or rekindle old
ones; trigger long‐‐‐‐forgotten memories; and turn
sadness into joy, if only during the dance. On a
more physical level, dancing can give you a great
mind‐‐‐‐body workout.
Researchers are learning that regular physical activity in
general can help keep your body, including your brain,
healthy as you age. Exercise increases the level of
brain chemicals that encourage nerve cells to grow. And
dancing that requires you to remember dance steps and
sequences boosts brain power by improving memory
skills. There has been some promising research in this
area, according to Rita Beckford, M.D., a family doctor
and spokesperson for the American Council on
Exercise. For instance, a 2003 study published in the
New England Journal of Medicine found that ballroom
dancing at least twice a week made people less likely to
develop dementia. Research also has shown that some
people with Alzheimer's disease are able to recall
forgotten memories when they dance to music they used
to know. Whether it is ballet or ballroom, clogging or
jazz, dance is great for helping people of all ages and
physical abilities get and stay in shape. There is even
chair dancing for people with physical limitations.
A 150‐pound adult can burn about 150 calories doing
30 minutes of moderate social dancing.
Benefits abound
Like other moderate, low‐impact, weight bearing
activities, such as brisk walking, cycling or aerobics,
dancing can help:
• strengthen bones and muscles without hurting your
joints
• tone your entire body
• improve your posture and balance, which can prevent
falls
• increase your stamina and flexibility
• reduce stress and tension
• build confidence
• provide opportunities to meet people, and
• ward off illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure
• Heart disease, osteoporosis, and depression
So if you're tired of the treadmill and looking for a
fun way to stay fit and healthy, it might be time to
kick up your heels!
Dipping and turning
Dancing is a great activity for people age 50 and
older because you can vary the level of physical
exertion so easily, according to Marian Simpson,
a retired dance instructor and president of the
National Dance Association. For instance, people
just getting back into dance or physical activity
can start out more slowly, then "step it up a
notch" by adding things like dips and turns as
they progress, says Simpson. The more energy
you put into a dance, the more vigorous your
workout will be. Although some dance forms are
more rigorous than others ‐ for instance, jazz as
opposed to the waltz ‐ all beginners' classes
should start you out gradually. Ballroom dance,
line dancing, and other kinds of social dance are
most popular among people 50 and older. That's
because they allow people to get together and
interact socially, while getting some exercise
and having fun at the same time. Dancers who
have lost partners can come alone and meet new
people, since many classes don't require that you
attend as a couple. If your doctor hasn't restricted
your activity in any way, you're ready to rock,
says Beckford. If you haven't been active or seen
the doctor in a while, ask yourself the following
questions:

왈Ϯ
1. Has your doctor ever said you have a heart
condition and that you should only do physical activity
recommended by a doctor?
2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do
physical activity?
3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when
you were not doing physical activity?
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness, or
do you ever lose consciousness?
5. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could get
worse from a change in your physical activity?
6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for
example, water pills) for blood pressure or a heart
condition?
7. Do you know of any other reason why you should
not do physical activity?
Source: Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
(PAR‐Q), Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology,
Inc., 1994. You should make an appointment to see
your doctor if you answer "yes" to any of the quest-
ions above.
Choosing a groove
If you don't know what kind of dance you might like,
the best thing to do is experiment. If you used to
dance and are getting back into it, you can pick up
where you left off. Some adults decide to resume
ballet classes after years of having had them as
children. If you take a class, give it some time before
deciding you don't like it, recommends Colleen Dean,
program coordinator for the American Alliance for
Health, Physical Education, Recreation and
Dance. Try going with a friend and keep with it for at
least a month. You can find dance classes at a dance
school, dance studio, health club, or community re-
-creation center. Some YMCAs, churches, or
Synagogues offer group dance classes followed by a
social hour. Here are some forms of dance you
might want to explore:
• Square dancing
• Swing (traditional or West Coast, which is more
technical)
• Line dancing, which can be done to country, rock,
pop, or salsa music
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
• Folk dancing, which can reconnect you to your ethnic
roots or introduce you to a whole new culture
• Ballroom
• Belly dancing
• Salsa
• Flamenco
• Jazz
• Tap
• Modern
• Clogging (double‐time stomping and tap steps)
• Contra (square dance moves in lines with men and
women switching places)
Where to Boogie
Some dance schools or dance halls hold social dances
that are open to the public on certain nights of the
week. Often, you can take a class before the dance
begins. You also can join a dance club that meets
regularly at different places, or join an amateur or
professional dance troupe. Jim Maxwell, 61, helped
form a dance troupe seven years ago that performs at
local retirement communities, nursing homes, and
community events in the Northern Virginia area. The
37 members, who perform clogging and Irish dance
routines, range in age from 9 to 62. The group gives
Maxwell and his fellow cloggers an opportunity to
perform a useful community service while having fun
and staying fit.
"We get the benefits of physical activity, but we also
serve our community," says Maxwell, who started
dancing because he needed physical activity but hated
to exercise. To help recruit people for the
troupe, Maxwell began teaching clogging, tap, and Irish
dance to all ages at local recreation centers. He now
teaches six classes. "Dancing is a lot of fun, and I like
performing," says Maxwell. "[Plus], we actually do
things for people. It's not just exercising as an
indulgence.“
Doing our own thing
If you are afraid you have two left feet or are short on
time, you can do your own thing just by turning on
some music and dancing around the house. Or turn a
night on the town into a dance party by finding a hot
spot with a good dance band. You also can "sweat to
the oldies“ or sashay around your living room with
dance videos that you can buy or rent from your local
library or video store (check to see if they're available).
So crank up the volume and shake a leg. Once you
start dancing, you might not want to stop!
